2. Introduction
=============================================================================

This guide is on Breath of Fire III. It focuses in depthly (is that a word?)
on the abilities and skills of this game. This guide has, yet again, been
revised to make you, the reader, easier to navigate this guide. The guide
itself doeshave some useful information that you might not know, but most of
it was taken from the game itself. If you have any questions or comments,
please email me at [email protected].

=============================================================================
3. Abilities
=============================================================================

This is the big section of this FAQ. I will list all the abilities by
character and all the abilities by type. But first I will tell you how to get
a ability. To get a ability you have to level up. When you level you every
once in a while you will get a ability! Abilities our a very big aspect in
this game! Without them the game would be less fun in battle.

=============================================================================
3.01 - Abilities by character
=============================================================================

In this mini-section I will list the ability by characters. I will put in
their type, name, purpose, and AP cost. You can print this guide out (after
looking at my legal disclaimer) and have it at all times. It is also very
usefull if you wish to know what ability you might get right before a level
up! I wish I had this...
